The key issue was whether the extension would increase the visual impact of the building from public vantage points, given its countryside location and policies presuming against development (GP3, ENV…
General Policy 3
Presumes against development in countryside areas with no particular designation or constraints. The officer noted this general presumption but found the proposal acceptable as an extension to an existing non-traditional dwelling.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside for its own sake. Applied alongside GP3, but outweighed by specific allowance in HP16 for extensions that do not increase visual impact.
Housing Policy 16
Permits extensions to non-traditional dwellings or those of poor/inappropriate form only if they do not increase public visual impact. The officer tested the proposal against this, finding the impact modest due to materials, colouring, and screening, with no significant increase.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
